Introduction. The calculating engines of English mathematician Charles Babbage (1791-1871) are among the most celebrated icons in the prehistory of computing. Babbageâs Difference Engine No.1 was the first successful automatic calculator and remains one of the finest examples of precision engineering of the time.ublications about Charles Babbage: 1  Charles Babbage. 2  Passages from the Life of a Philosopher.

You bought a bareroot rose. Many people have an unfortunate experience with a garden store in that they have bought a rose bush whose roots have dried out so the plant is essential dead from day one. You mentioned hard and that is what triggers our response. The bark should be soft and greenish in color.
Feed your rose every two weeks with a slow-release rose fertilizer that is rich in phosphorus, such as 5-10-5. Roses grown in pots need more fertilizer than ones grown in the garden, because the nutrients get washed out quicker with all the watering required. Prune the rose to keep tidy looking.Using clippers, cut off dead leaves and flowers as needed, and remove any canes that are smaller than the diameter of a pencil. Keep the middle of the rose open to allow for good air circulation. In early spring of each season, cut the canes back about one-third.tep 6. Check the rose often for pests such as aphids, which are more commonly found on roses. The little green bugs can be picked off, and if there is an infestation of them, use an insecticide specifically for aphids found at your local gardening store.
